Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Bartlett, TN

Have stressful life events left you feeling tired, anxious, or overwhelmed? Have you tried to make changes, but nothing seems to work? We all experience stress in our lives, but sometimes it can be too much for one person to take on. Yet seeking out therapy and choosing a therapist can seem just as scary or daunting. My name is Jennifer and I have a masters degree in mental health counseling. My goal is to create a safe environment for clients to make sense of what is happening in their life. I will also work to provide you with tools to help cope with life's hardships.

Life can be difficult and challenging. We are often taught and develop maladaptive ways of coping just to get by. At some point in our life we could benefit from education and guidance on how to make improvements leading to a healthier more fulfilling life. That is the goal in therapy: to foster healing that leads to balance in one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This may look different for each client. Some people need to simply be heard, others need to learn and make changes in their present life, and others need to process pain from their past that is still affecting them today.

My ideal client would be anyone who seeks help with their struggles, challenges, and/or needs of any kind. If you are seeking a therapist with a unique style of therapy, look no further! I am here to help. I offer virtual, in-person, and telephone sessions for Tennessee residents.

Life can be incredibly complicated and challenging leaving individuals feeling helpless and isolated. Often, we learn maladaptive ways of coping these feelings which often leads to living a life of survival, as opposed to a healthy, fulfilling life. My goal for my clients is to achieve ultimate potential through creating balance among physical, mental, and emotional needs. I provide an empathetic, safe, non-judgmental environment to allow personal reflection, healing and growth.

TRAUMA: An overwhelming experience that is too much, too fast. If too stressed or truly overwhelmed, our natural survival responses can be blocked. If unable to complete our body’s survival responses, trauma can occur and often symptoms emerge. We can feel stuck in the fear of flight, the anger of fight or the depression of freeze. As one who facilitates healing from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and suffering, I am dedicated to working compassionately, non-judgmentally and collaboratively with you to become "unstuck" and find a greater sense of healing and wholeness.

If you want to work through past experiences so they no longer control your life, better understand yourself, make positive changes in your life, build better relationships, or just need someone to listen and offer hope and understanding please reach out

Are you (or your child or adolescent) feeling irritable or tired? Are you having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or simply making it through each day? Perhaps those in your household are wrestling with feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, or social isolation. First and foremost, you aren't alone. And believe it or not, what you or your family members are struggling with may be rooted in grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stress, the death of a loved one, changes in physical health, divorce or relationship loss, and day-to-day life transitions can thrust anyone into an emotional and physical tailspin.

Being seen and heard are gifts that a lot of us have not consistently received throughout our lives. Our humanity requires these gifts to experience fullness, wholeness, and a steady sense of self. Ruptures and traumas with society, with others, and with ourselves can be experienced as a result of not being experienced as our full selves or when we are reduced to attributes, parts, or fragments rather than as fully human. At times, we can even begin to believe that this is all we are worth or engage in scrambling to live a life of scarcity not believing we deserve a life of abundance. Our life force, though, knows that we need more.
